Big futures pop, but no big breakout?

Posted by frtaylor on 8th of Mar 2012 at 09:43 am

I had bought it a month earlier as a trade shown by Dan Fitzpatrick.  Good point lachasse - same store sales is what hit it, not earnings.  Position was not big.

MCD had disappointing earnings.  I got stopped out (was in from 99.35).

Thanks Steve.  I shorted early

Headed over 1364?

Thanks Steve.  I shorted early this morning at 136.87, thinking futures were pretty extended.  Then I started to get a little nervous....  Looks okay for now.  Stop is at 137.50.

Matt, futures are just over the equivalent of 1364 (I'm tracking pre-market SPY).  So does it look like the correction is over?

Noticing there is pos divergence

Noticing there is pos divergence between the Oct low and the Dec low, so if we do make another low, I suppose it could be a good long?

Matt, do you watch the

SPX 2011

Posted by frtaylor on 6th of Mar 2012 at 11:07 am

Matt, do you watch the 60 stochastics or the 14/3 stochastics?

Steve are you thinking the

SPX 1 with Fibs

Posted by frtaylor on 5th of Mar 2012 at 10:31 am

Steve are you thinking the drop and lower bounce could be waves 1 and 2, and we are now possibly in 3?

Matt or Steve, what do you think of the (lack of) action on MPEL?  The volume has dried up and it's just sitting right on the breakout level.  I'm still holding.

Thanks for the charts, Matt

Thanks for the charts, Matt - I think I will wait for an ABC in gold and then buy in.

Where do you see the breakout on this one, over 2.54? As always, thanks for the idea.  ABD was a good trade, thanks for that.

FAZ shows a completed morning

FAZ shows a completed morning star pattern on the 15 min chart.  Stop I guess would be below the low.

Steve and Matt, from our discussion last night, I took a short (small) at 135.40 when the 60 min RSI 5 turned down (70).  Also, the 5 min 60 stochastic turned below 80, which was also a signal I was watching.  Stop at 135.55 (too tight?).

thanks for the tutorial yesterday.
